Yet there was nothing for surprise��

 Nor much that need be told��

Love�察�with his gift of pain�察�had given

 More than one heart could hold。









The Mill







The miller's wife had waited long��

 The tea was cold�察�the fire was dead��

And there might yet be nothing wrong

 In how he went and what he said��

;There are no millers any more�察�

 Was all that she had heard him say��

And he had lingered at the door

 So long that it seemed yesterday。



Sick with a fear that had no form

 She knew that she was there at last��

And in the mill there was a warm

 And mealy fragrance of the past。

What else there was would only seem

 To say again what he had meant��

And what was hanging from a beam

 Would not have heeded where she went。



And if she thought it followed her��

 She may have reasoned in the dark

That one way of the few there were

 Would hide her and would leave no mark��

Black water�察�smooth above the weir

 Like starry velvet in the night��

Though ruffled once�察�would soon appear

 The same as ever to the sight。









The Dark Hills







Dark hills at evening in the west��

Where sunset hovers like a sound

Of golden horns that sang to rest

Old bones of warriors under ground��

Far now from all the bannered ways

Where flash the legions of the sun��

You fade  as if the last of days

Were fading�察�and all wars were done。









The Three Taverns



  When the brethren heard of us�察�they came to meet us

  as far as Appii Forum�察�and The Three Taverns。

                                        ��Acts 28��15��







Herodion�察�Apelles�察�Amplias��

And Andronicus�拭 �Is it you I see 

At last�拭 �And is it you now that are gazing

As if in doubt of me�拭 �Was I not saying

That I should come to Rome�拭 �I did say that��

And I said furthermore that I should go

On westward�察�where the gateway of the world

Lets in the central sea。  I did say that��

But I say only�察�now�察�that I am Paul 

A prisoner of the Law�察�and of the Lord

A voice made free。  If there be time enough

To live�察�I may have more to tell you then

Of western matters。  I go now to Rome��

Where Caesar waits for me�察�and I shall wait��

And Caesar knows how long。  In Caesarea

There was a legend of Agrippa saying

In a light way to Festus�察�having heard

My deposition�察�that I might be free��

Had I stayed free of Caesar�察�but the word

Of God would have it as you see it is 

And here I am。  The cup that I shall drink

Is mine to drink  the moment or the place

Not mine to say。  If it be now in Rome��

Be it now in Rome�察�and if your faith exceed

The shadow cast of hope�察�say not of me

Too surely or too soon that years and shipwreck��

And all the many deserts I have crossed

That are not named or regioned�察�have undone

Beyond the brevities of our mortal healing

The part of me that is the least of me。

You see an older man than he who fell

Prone to the earth when he was nigh Damascus��

Where the great light came down�察�yet I am he

That fell�察�and he that saw�察�and he that heard。

And I am here�察�at last�察�and if at last

I give myself to make another crumb

For this pernicious feast of time and men 

Well�察�I have seen too much of time and men

To fear the ravening or the wrath of either。



Yes�察�it is Paul you see  the Saul of Tarsus

That was a fiery Jew�察�and had men slain

For saying Something was beyond the Law��

And in ourselves。  I fed my suffering soul

Upon the Law till I went famishing��

Not knowing that I starved。  How should I know��

More then than any�察�that the food I had 

What else it may have been  was not for me��

My fathers and their fathers and their fathers

Had found it good�察�and said there was no other��

And I was of the line。  When Stephen fell��

Among the stones that crushed his life away��

There was no place alive that I could see

For such a man。  Why should a man be given

To live beyond the Law�拭 �So I said then��

As men say now to me。  How then do I

Persist in living�拭 �Is that what you ask��

If so�察�let my appearance be for you

No living answer�察�for Time writes of death

On men before they die�察�and what you see

Is not the man。  The man that you see not 

The man within the man  is most alive��

Though hatred would have ended�察�long ago��

The bane of his activities。  I have lived��

Because the faith within me that is life

Endures to live�察�and shall�察�till soon or late��

Death�察�like a friend unseen�察�shall say to me

My toil is over and my work begun。



How often�察�and how many a time again��

Have I said I should be with you in Rome��

He who is always coming never comes��

Or comes too late�察�you may have told yourselves��

And I may tell you now that after me��

Whether I stay for little or for long��

The wolves are coming。  Have an eye for them��

And a more careful ear for their confusion

Than you need have much longer for the sound

Of what I tell you  should I live to say

More than I say to Caesar。  What I know

Is down for you to read in what is written��

And if I cloud a little with my own

Mortality the gleam that is immortal��

I do it only because I am I 

Being on earth and of it�察�in so far

As time flays yet the remnant。  This you know��

And if I sting men�察�as I do sometimes��

With a sharp word that hurts�察�it is because

Man's habit is to feel before he sees��

And I am of a race that feels。  Moreover��

The world is here for what is not yet here

For more than are a few�察�and even in Rome��

Where men are so enamored of the Cross

That fame has echoed�察�and increasingly��

The music of your love and of your faith

To foreign ears that are as far away

As Antioch and Haran�察�yet I wonder

How much of love you know�察�and if your faith

Be the shut fruit of words。  If so�察�remember

Words are but shells unfilled。  Jews have at least

A Law to make them sorry they were born

If they go long without it�察�and these Gentiles��

For the first time in shrieking history��

Have love and law together�察�if so they will��

For their defense and their immunity

In these last days。  Rome�察�if I know the name��

Will have anon a crown of thorns and fire

Made ready for the wreathing of new masters��

Of whom we are appointed�察�you and I�察�

And you are still to be when I am gone��

Should I go presently。  Let the word fall��

Meanwhile�察�upon the dragon´ridden field

Of circumstance�察�either to live or die��

Concerning which there is a parable��

Made easy for the comfort and attention

Of those who preach�察�fearing they preach in vain。

You are to plant�察�and then to plant again

Where you have gathered�察�gathering as you go��

For you are in the fields that are eternal��

And you have not the burden of the Lord

Upon your mortal shoulders。  What you have

Is a light yoke�察�made lighter by the wearing��

Till it shall have the wonder and the weight

Of a clear jewel�察�shining with a light

Wherein the sun and all the fiery stars

May soon be fading。  When Gamaliel said

That if they be of men these things are nothing��

But if they be of God they are for none

To overthrow�察�he spoke as a good Jew��

And one who stayed a Jew�察�and he said all。

And you know�察�by the temper of your faith��

How far the fire is in you that I felt

Before I knew Damascus。  A word here��

Or there�察�or not there�察�or not anywhere��

Is not the Word that lives and is the life��

And you�察�therefore�察�need weary not yourselves

With jealous aches of others。  If the world

Were not a world of aches and innovations��

Attainment would have no more joy of it。

There will be creeds and schisms�察�creeds in creeds��

And schisms in schisms�察�myriads will be done

To death because a farthing has two sides��

And is at last a farthing。  Telling you this��

I�察�who bid men to live�察�appeal to Caesar。

Once I had said the ways of God were dark��

Meaning by that the dark ways of the Law。

Such is the glory of our tribulations��

For the Law kills the flesh that kills the Law��

And we are then alive。  We have eyes then��

And we have then the Cross between two worlds 

To guide us�察�or to blind us for a time��

Till we have eyes indeed。  The fire that smites

A few on highways�察�changing all at once��

Is not for all。  The power that holds the world

Away from God that holds himself away 

Farther away than all your works and words

Are like to fly without the wings of faith 

Was not�察�nor ever shall be�察�a small hazard

Enlivening the ways of easy leisure

Or the cold road of knowledge。  When our eyes

Have wisdom�察�we see more than we remember��

And the old world of our captivities

May then become a smitten glimpse of ruin��

Like one where vanished hewers have had their day

Of wrath on Lebanon。  Before we see��

Meanwhile�察�we suffer�察�and I come to you��

At last�察�through many storms and through much night。



Yet whatsoever I have undergone��

My keepers in this instance are not hard。

But for the chance of an ingratitude��

I might indeed be curious of their mercy��

And fearful of their leisure while I wait��

A few leagues out of Rome。  Men go to Rome��

Not always to return  but not that now。

Meanwhile�察�I seem to think you look at me

With eyes that are at last more credulous

Of my identity。  You remark in me

No sort of leaping giant�察�though some words

Of mine to you from Corinth may have leapt

A little through your eyes into your soul。

I trust they were alive�察�and are alive

Today�察�for there be none that shall indite

So much of nothing as the man of words

Who writes in the Lord's name for his name's sake

And has not in his blood the fire of time

To warm eternity。  Let such a man 

If once the light is in him and endures 

Content himself to be the general man��

Set free to sift the decencies and thereby

To learn�察�except he be one set aside

For sorrow�察�more of pleasure than of pain��

Though if his light be not the light indeed��

But a brief shine that never really was��

And fails�察�leaving him worse than where he was��

Then shall he be of all men d
